Spring cleaning is a spiritual concept in addition to its literal meaning, and W.D. Hytes proves with his newest single that he has full cognizance of the gravity of both concepts.
With his collective throughout New York City and beyond, this talented instrumentalist, composer and entrepreneur also understands the gravity of taking time to plan and execute his art, Spring cleaning spiritually and in the literal sense to prepare for the seasons of prosperity ahead. “Free Mind” feat. June Source is a candid reflection of W.D. Hytes and his team’s talents and journey to rightfully earn their spot.
“Free Mind” is a sharp and a great choice of a single. The instrumental is atypical to today’s climate of rap music. The single is not lo-fi, East Coast boom bap, nor obviously Southern, but rather incorporating original composition with the piano, soothingly fresh chorus as performed by June Source and exemplary lyrical verses back to back as performed by the mastermind W.D. Hytes himself. This not only shows his dexterous versatility, but his dedication to showing his collective’s difference in the New Wave era of modern Hip Hop.
“Don’t mind me, I’m just living for the moment,
Stars on the rise, so I’ll see you in the Morning,
Lights coming in, so I’ll keep the window open,
Life gets blurry, I don’t want to lose my focus.” -June Source
June Source’s voice is evidently well trained, as she layers her own voice over the chorus to give it a professional radio single feel.
W.D. Hytes is a undeniable word wizard with the bars, making the internal rhymes, concepts and storytelling flow like a single thread to elucidate that he is a true professional. With each verse, he is able to effortlessly fuse his natural melodic voice into a sing-rap style that isn’t annoying like many others in the game that try it, but rather something you have to run back multiple times because it’s simply good ass music.
“And I know this temple’s just a rental-
Coincidentally, it’s a melody,
One can say it’s heavenly and leaves a legacy,The entity colored me ebony,
Embroidered my soul in Rose Gold
Till my blood could still flow so I could rhyme with steel flows” -W.D. Hytes
If anyone likes Chance the Rapper, Noname, Saba, Childish Major and more rap that captures the soul with heavy vibrations of great positive energy, then W.D. Hytes and June Source have a certified bop for you.
Check out the single on all platforms today and prepare for his upcoming project that will contain even more heat.
